Technical textiles: using smart and modern materials in your secondary classroom TY208 / B15
Summary
This course will help you to develop a textiles curriculum that incorporates smart and modern materials into modern and exciting projects.
Learn how smart materials and wearable's are changing the way that we use textiles and discover practical ideas for incorporating these new technical textiles into the classroom. All participants will leave with the equipment necessary to replicate example projects back in the classroom. As part of the course we will also be visiting Leeds University Design School to gain experience of how medical textiles and non woven textiles are changing the world around us.
